MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • May 23, 2021
Anyone who cares about the economy should be concerned about L.D. 163 and L.D. 1532, two bills in the Legislature that could cripple Maine’s energy and transportation infrastructure, increasing the cost of heating oil, fuel, gasoline and asphalt for Maine families and businesses. Pretty much every business organization in the state opposes one or both of these bills. Instead of crippling our liquid fuel infrastructure with these bills, we should be increasing our capacity for low-carbon renewable biofuels, which can be produced right here in Maine. ~ Irv Smith, Maine Better Transportation Association
